Notes.
BURTON'S "ANATOMY OF MELANCHOLY."
In this age of "new editions," it is a wonder that no one has favoured the public
with a reprint, with notes
variorum
, of this celebrated English classic.
{191}
Dr. Dibdin, in a note to his edition of More's
Utopia
, vol. ii. p. 97., says:
"Whoever will be at the trouble of consulting Part II, sect.
IV.
memb..
i. subsect. 4. of the last folio edition of Burton [1676], will see how it
varies from the first folio of 1624; and will, in consequence, regret
the omission of the notice of these variations in the octavo editions
of Burton recently published."
The octavo editions here referred to are those of 1800 and 1806; the latter, I
believe, edited by Edward Du Bois. The folio of 1676 is, in all probability, an
exact reprint of that of 1651, which certainly differs considerably from those of
an earlier date. Henry Cripps, the publisher of the edition of 1651, has the
following notice:
"
To the Reader.
Be
pleased
to
know
(courteous
Reader)
that
since
the
last
impression of this Book, the ingenuous author of it is deceased,
leaving a copy of it exactly corrected, with several considerable
additions by his own hand. This copy he committed to my care and
custody, with directions to have those additions inserted in the next
edition; which, in order to his command and the publicke good, is
faithfully performed in this last impression.
H. C."
Modern writers have been deeply indebted to old Robert Burton; but he, in his
turn, was equally indebted to earlier writers. Dr. Dibdin remarks:
"I suspect that Burton, the author of the
Anatomy of Melancholy
, was
intimately acquainted with Boiastuan's book as translated by Alday;
for there are passages in Burton's 'Love Melancholy' (the most
extraordinary and amusing part of his work), which bear a very
strong resemblance to many in the 'Gests and Countenances
ridiculous of Lovers,' at p. 195 of Boiastuan's
Theatre, or Rule of the
World
."
The title of the curious book mentioned in this extract is—
"Theatrum Mundi. Theatre, or Rule of the World: Wherein may bee
seene the running Race and Course of everie Mannes Lyfe, as
touching Miserie and Felicitie: whereunto is added a learned Worke
of the excellencie of Man. Written in French by Peter Boiastuan.
Translated by John Alday. Printed by Thomas East, for John Wright,
8vo. 1582."
But Burton was more indebted to another work, very similar in title and matter to
his own; I mean Dr. Bright's curious little volume, of which I transcribe the title-
page in full:
"A Treatise of Melancholy: contayning the Causes thereof, and
reasons of the strange Effects it worketh in our Minds and Bodies;
with the Phisicke Cure, and Spirituall Consolation for such as have
thereto adjoyned afflicted Conscience. The difference betwixt it and
Melancholy, with
diverse
philosophical
Discourses
touching
Actions, and Affections of Soule, Spirit, and Body: the Particulars
whereof are to be seene before the Booke. By T. Bright, Doctor of
Phisicke. Imprinted at London by John Windet, sm. 8vo. 1586."
It has been remarked that Burton does not acknowledge his obligations to
Bright. This, however, is not strictly true, as the former acknowledges
several
quotations
in the course of his work. It would certainly be desirable, in the event
of a new edition of the
Anatomy
, that a comparison of the two books should be
made. As a beginning towards this end, I subjoin a table of the contents of
Bright's
Treatise
, with a notice of some similar passages in Burton's
Anatomy
,
arranged in parallel columns.
I may just add, that Bright's
Treatise
consists of 276 pages, exclusive of a
dedication "To the Right Worshipful M. Peter Osborne," &c. (dated from "Little
S. Bartlemews by Smithfield, the 13 of May, 1586"); and an address "To his
Melancholick Friend M."
All that is known of his biography has been collected by the Rev. Joseph
Hunter, and communicated to the last edition of Wood's
Athenæ Oxonienses
,
vol. ii. p. 174.
